Wilson's Principles a Small Reflection in the Country: Vilson Newspaper
Abstract
Towards the end of World War I, President Woodrow Wilson explained 14 principles about how post-war world order should be. These principles, after the war in the defeated countries, especially in the Ottoman Empire found a serious echo. Many intellectuals saw the liberation of the country in these principles. Some of them established the Wilson's Principles Society. Through this association, Wilson and his principles were recognized. The most remarkable of Wilson and his principles outside the capital city of Istanbul emerged in Manisa. In the wake of the Greek occupation of Western Anatolia, a newspaper was published in Manisa in the name of Vilson. Manisa does not have a very rich history in terms of press history. After the first years of the Second Constitution, the second press action is seen during the Mondros Armistice period. One of the two known newspapers of this period is Vilson and the second is Ertugrul. Both newspapers were issued by the same person for three months. This study aims to examine the Vilson journal which has the first and the only number in hand, both in terms of Manisa press history and place in the agenda of the period. The newspaper will also be reviewed in terms of technique and content.
